June 2021, Wyoming mountains Five years into the Were War and his pack was losing. Derek Johnson leaned back into the chair of his office in the caverns and ran his fingers through his black hair. He read the message again... the attack on the airfield had failed, and all members of the assault team had been lost. He didn't really need the paper, he had f...
I was ripped from my slumber the next morning by the consistent blaring of the alarm clock. I groaned as I hit the off button with more force than intended. God I felt like shit! Have you ever woken up the next morning after a particularly bad argument with your spouse with that feeling of unknown angst? You can't remember exactly what the fight was about,...
The woods seemed to go on and on, broken only by the odd deserted cottage and broken stonework which must have represented some old temple or other. The two friends found very little to eat, but resourcefulness was a new skill they’d learnt: they’d actually prepared for this long walk by buying more food with them than they could eat in a single sitting. And...
Though it was a relatively short flight, I fell asleep as soon as we reached cruising altitude. I even missed the snacks. My neck had a crick in it when I woke up; I rubbed it to no avail. A hot shower when I got home was in order. It seemed to take forever to get out of the plane, into the terminal, and collect my bags. I hailed a taxi and was unlocking the...
Journal Entry 11-11-2017 I don't know exactly how to explain this, but who else do I tell; I have mixed feelings about all of this so I'm going to tell you the story of my experiences, maybe writing this all down will help me sort it all out. So, Dear Journal, Since I don't write in you often, I'll have to start from the beginning and tell you everythin...
I sat in a hard wooden chair watching her dance on stage, she looked young, like nineteen, or twenty; slim and blonde. She moved about in a lazy fashion; I was certain there would be no fancy pole show for me that day. I wasn't quite sure how I ended up in this second rate strip club here in Paris. A few days before I was a Dutch soldier working at the Mult...
Mother thinks my lover hung the moon, because he handled all the arrangements to bury me. From the morgue to the over-sized coffin, she never had to do a thing. Never had to see the body, never had to sign a form. i had long ago granted power of attorney to my master. He swept in before she had a chance to think. He dealt with my meager estate, paid my bills...
I'm not sure how good the writing is, but I like this story and where it's going. Potential Readers, I humbly ask you to start on Chapter One if you haven't read it, or just to refresh your memory. Let me know if you're enjoying it as much as I am. Cheers! ***** I made it to the Pilner building the following morning early, waiting outside Dr. Tammy Wynn's...
Chapter 29 In Silverman's office, with Bobby, Bill and Tim present, he outlined what the little problem was. "Gentlemen, let me say at once that I don't think this mission is feasible. The Germans, as you know, have reinforced their Luftwaffe with squadrons from Crete and Sicily. They have air superiority at the moment in North Africa. Amongst them are two...
INTRODUCTION I was 40 years old, single and had just moved into a modest home on the lake. It was a 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch style home. It was on the water so it cost twice what it cost if it was inland. The house was situated on a ¼ acre somewhat wooded lot. There was a wooden deck out back with a screened-in gazebo with a hot tub inside. There was a dock...
